Free Web NovelChapter 2489: Chapter 1096: Promoting a Demigod
"Good!" The Queen of the Succubi displayed a vicious expression, "Grazte, that greedy demon has been eyeing my divine position for too long. It’s time to fight back and let him know I’m not someone to be trifled with!"
The lack of combat prowess has always been the greatest shortcoming of the Succubi.
Especially before charming and controlling the enemy, they are at their most vulnerable. The ability to summon slaughter undead effectively compensates for this weakness.
If used well, she could also summon strategic weapons like the Skeleton Giant and Shadow Flyer in batches to achieve strategic objectives.
This is much more time and effort-saving than ordering from Gaven.
However, she had no intention of canceling the order, having witnessed the decisive role of the Shadow Flyers in many battles; having a batch of her own can never be wrong.
"When using this ability on a large scale, please be cautious, Your Majesty. I will only permit you to summon up to one-third of my forces. Beyond this limit, there will be no slaughter undead to respond." Gaven cautioned in advance.
Compared to the Queen of the Succubi, he still had a small family and limited business.
If all the Succubi summoned at the same time, his entire territory might be immediately emptied.
Though he had successfully captured the domain of the Jackalwere King Yenogu, the latter had left him a mess.
The Gathering Gate, which turned into a Demon Summoning Gate, required a powerful army to be stationed there permanently to eliminate uninvited demons.
"Naturally!" The Queen of the Succubi agreed wholeheartedly, "My territory will also adopt corresponding restrictions. I will return to Shendilawell immediately to organize the counteroffensive.
This incarnation will remain here to assist you in raiding Agrazte; she has infiltrated there multiple times and is very familiar with the situation. She is believed to be of great help to you."
"Even if Her Majesty didn’t do this, I would have asked you to! The premise of a raid is built on intelligence." This time, Gaven did not refuse.
Aside from needing the Queen of the Succubi’s intelligence support, his apprehension towards her greatly diminished after enduring the Desire Feast.
Perhaps due to the Desire Blessing, his resistance to her Charisma had significantly increased. Although not completely under control, it was at least not as overwhelming as before.
Previously, he was somewhat limited by her aura, unintentionally amplifying her strength while underestimating his own.
In many aspects, he was no longer a mortal.
"I await your triumphant return!" The Queen of the Succubi said flirtatiously, "At that time, I will hold a real victory celebration for you and give you richer rewards, haha..."
Before Gaven could reply, the Queen of the Succubi vanished into thin air with a flash of magic aura, along with the Enchanting Demon Castle.
Leaving Gaven alone in the Endless Wilderness, as if the previous Desire Feast was just his dream.
The actions of these demons are truly hard to predict.
Suddenly, Gaven felt a strong aversion to the current lifestyle in the Bottomless Abyss, longing for the life on the Material Plane.
He wanted to lie on a haystack and bask in the sun, walk along the moonlit country road, taste the clear spring water from the mountains, and take a refreshing hot bath, then lie on sun-dried quilts, sleeping carefreely until waking naturally.
These mundane things on the Material Plane are the most expensive luxuries in the Bottomless Abyss.
There is neither sun nor moon here.
Food and drink are all created by magic, and cleanliness is also resolved with spells.
Sleeping without worries is even a luxury, as one must keep an eye open, preventing a blade from stabbing the back.
Successful or not, I will go home.
Gaven made a silent determination in his heart.
After adjusting his mindset, Gaven turned his attention back to the battlefield.
Father of Combat, Uthgar, after seizing the Berserk Godhood Fragment and liberating some enslaved souls, was forced to lead his Uthgar Barbarians Petitioner Army back to his God Kingdom.
His Strength conflicted with the Bottomless Abyss; the longer he stayed, the more he was repelled.
Especially in this situation of leading an entire army to invade, the repulsion was even more severe.
This is one of the reasons why True Gods of the Upper Plane have never succeeded in fully purifying and occupying the Bottomless Abyss, and why several vanguard armies were instead corrupted and became part of it.
The next battle doesn’t require Father of Combat’s assistance anymore.
Once the Jackalwere King fled, the remaining Abyssal Jackalweres immediately lost their Will to resist and scattered like birds and beasts.
The Giant Bone King’s Undead Slaughter Army did not have time to annihilate them all, focusing mainly on Yenogu’s Siege and the Gathering Gate.
The demons summoned by the Gathering Gate, though grand in scale, posed far less threat to the Undead Slaughter Army compared to the Jackalwere Army.
The summoned demons were a motley crew, without command or discipline, with many even harboring grudges.
Before the Undead Slaughter Army could reach them, they started fighting among themselves.
Facing such enemies, the Undead Slaughter Army seemed to be invincible.
By the time Gaven stepped into Yenogu’s Siege, most of the area had already been occupied by the Undead Slaughter Army, and the Gathering Gate was thoroughly surrounded, both on land and in the air.
